That depends upon the
Liver, for if the Liver is
Inactive the whole sys-

the housekeeper of the

simple remedy that acts
like Nature, does not

MOST DlSCONSOLAfE OF ALL
When in winter dress the single stickers
look, perhaps the most disconsolate of all 1t
is in single stickers that public interest has
centered of late, influenced by the interna-
tional and other great races in which these
have taken part A schooner with the mo
notony of her appearance relieved by two
masts never looks so dreary as the single
sticker, which by her metamorphosiS is re-
duced in appearance almost to the plebeian
level of fishing 4. She is certainly
brought to resemble general style of the
primeval boat; a chunk of wood and bare
pole But appearances are deceitful, and the
tremendous capabilities that lie in that limo
cent hull, when it is urgess model, would
cause the primeval boat builder to raise hue
and cry OF ''witchcraft.
Some yacht owners adopt a more elaborate
method of sheltering their craft. They build
structure of wood resembling little frame
house right over the deck, SO that all below
is kept safe and sound This mode, if more
| thorough than the other, is more cumbrous
1t is also more expensive, for canvas suit
once made will last for several winters, and
| the wooden shelter house has to be solidly
built anew each year, and for these reasons
| the simpler method is the more common
The great army of skilled seamen who
manned the yachts is disbanded, and its
members scattered to the four winds, except
in the cases where the sailing master has
been retained to stay by his boat during the
winter In this country the sailors are gen
| orally engaged for the season and do not sign
| any contract for a number of years as they
do in Britain They are therefore here pc
riodically, but it is safe to say that none OF
them want for winter work Some go off on
short coasting cruises; the others are sure to
find ''jobn about the docks or in the multi
farious departments Of marine industry. The
shippers, as a rule, rest on their laurels and
prepare themselves to add to them next year.
By the middle of March, if winter does lo'
linger too long, there will be signs of activity
on the yachts once more. Workmen vii
swarm about their decks unloosing the un
slightly bandages, completing their beautiful
toilet and getting them into sailing order
and a month later they will spread theil
white wings with birds and butterflies o

YACHTS AT REST.
SLOOPS AND CUTTERS READY TO
GO INTO WINTER QUARTERS.

A Visit to the Docks Of South Brooklyn.
What a Yacht Looks Like When Laid
Up'-How the Vessels Are Cared For
What Becomes of the Sailors.
To realize that the yachting season is in
deed over one need but visit the line of docks
extending along the curve Of the shore from
South Brooklyn to Bay Ridge In that line
there are no less than $50 yachts of all de-
grees now laid up for the winter. This num-
Der is being added to daily, and before the
envious winds of autumn have snatched the
last russell leaf from the bending trees there
will not be left single yacht in these waters
in commission. The general public is apt to
see only one side of the matters in which
their interest is spasmodically and temper
arily absorbed, and that is, as rule, the out
side
But if one really wishes to know what a
yacht looks like when ''laid up,n be must go
to such place as Tebo's dock at South
Brooklyn. And what is she hkes Miss
Beauty in morning wrapper, with her hair
in curl papersl She is stripped of all that
goes to enhance her charms. Hulk, main
mast, bowsprit; that is all that is left of her
and she is swathed and bandaged like an old
woman with the toothache The sentimental
ist will be inclined to shed a tear-she is SO
utterly desolate, helpless, lonely and hfeless.
The mawkish poet, who spreads himself
through six months and over much foolscap
on the subject of snowy pinions," etc,
will experience a pang of revulsion OF
feeling, as if cherished corn were trampled
upon. Forenoon beauty, daylight stage
shows and winter yachts are subjects to be
| avoided in poetry.
This is practical age, and when the time
| of the sailing of yachts is over the question
| that naturally is of most Importance to theiI
owners is how to take care of them during
| the severe season. To leave as little as pos
| sible of what is liable to injury exposed il
what is aimed at, and when the yacht il
towed reluctantly into the dock after he'
contests, trials and triumphs, she is straight
way mercilessly stripped and left in th'
hands Of the dockkeeper. The topmaSt i
housed, the sailors are removed; the steering
wheel is taken away bodily, and all these a
| well as many other odds and ends, as well a
the small boats, are put ashore and locked u
in storehouse Then the matches and augh
else made of mahogany wood are covere
with canvas; and frequently the hare spar
are similarly clothed. A steam yacht is dis
mantled in the same fashion; and all tb
brasswork is as carefully covered with cal
| vas as the mahogany

LAST CALL-Sherif Smith makes the last
call upon those who have not paid their
taxes to come forward and do SO at once.
Heretofore it has been i'll the discretion of
the Sheriffs to indulge their friends in this
matter, and no official of course desires to
appear unaccommodating or oppressive, but
the law now is plainly laid down and they
must so by it. An act was passed by the
last Legislature requiring them to be very
strict, and to sell at public auction all
lands on which taxes have not been paid
the sale to take place on the fret Monday

his incumbency Sheriff Smith has made

administration has been creditable to him.

loss to the crops and trade of the country.

the best had in years. but the horizon dark
ened, and the clouds along whose gloomy
edges we have yet failed to find the "sllver
lining" opened their watery gates and del
